T have made no search for other illus
trations." the President adds, land the
above being at hand are given as tending
to show that estimates can not be relied
upon in such cases."
Continuing with his objections to the
bill, the President says: '1f none should
be pensioned under this bill except those
utterly unable to work, l am satisfied that
the cost stated in the estimate referred to
would be many times multiplied and with
constant increase from year to year, and
if those partially unable to earn their
support should be admitted to the priv
ileges of this bill, the probable increase
of expense would be appalling. l
think it may be said that at the
close of the war of the rebellion,
every Northern State and a great majori-
ty of Northern counties and cities were
burdened with taxation on account OF the
large bounties paid our soldiers; and the
bonded debt thereby created, still constl'
tutes large item in the account Of the
tax gatherer against the people Federal
taxation, no less borne by the people than
that directly levied upon their property, is
still maintained at the rate made neceS'
sary by the exigencies of war.
sIf this bill should become law, with
its tremendous addition to our pension OBJ
legation, am thoroughly convinced thas
further efforts to reduce the Federal reYe'
nue., and restore some part of it to our
people, will, and, perhaps should be, seri'
ously questioned. 1t has constantly been
a cause of pride and cOngratulation to the
American citizen that his country is not
put to the charge of maintaining large
standing army in time of peace Yet we
are now living under war tax which has
been tolerated in peaceful times to meet
the obligations incurred in war. But for
years past, in all parts of the country, the
demand for the reduction Of the burdens
of taxation upon our labor and production
has increased in volume and urgency.
81 am not willing to approve a measure
presenting the objections to which this
bill is subjected, and which, moreover,
will have the effect of disappointing the
expectations of the people and their de-
sire and hope for relief from war taxation
in the time of peace"
The President closes his message by
saying:
"ln6 evil Inredteueu ny Iuls JILL loi ."
my opinion, such that, charged with
great responsibility in behalf of the peo-
pie, can not do otherwise than to bring
to consideration of this measure my best

form my constitutional duty in relation
thereto, regardless of ali consequences,

In an Embarrassing situation.

A rather comical adventure befell two
very stylish young American married
ladies the other day on the bouleyards,
writes Paris correspondent. They set out
to take stroll and to look at the shops,
and while slowly making their way along
the crowded thoroughfare they were
struck by the amount of attention that
they excited. People stopped and gazed
at them, and altogether they felt them
selves quite the success of the afternoon
Suddenly one of them CHANGED to look
around and realized the situation. "Good
gracious, Kittyw she gasped, I'VE are
walking between two of the sandwichmen
of the Paris Casino-we are being taken
for advertising womenp' The sudden
way in which my two pretty young coun-
trywomen disappeared down the nearest
side street can be better imagined than

For Good PnrnOSes.

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, Of Philadelphia, is
well known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
She writes Mrs. Pinliham of a recent IN
teresting case. ga young married lady
came to me suffering with severe case OF
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was fully restored. In proof of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade the responsibilities Of maternity
After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed in a most alarm
ing state and suffered terribly. l gave hoi
a tablespoonful Of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep
she awoke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Com
pound, and in due season she became the
mother of fine healthy boy. But for the
timely use Of the medicine she believes hel
life would have been lost"

First Railroad Survey in Tennessee.


Sparta Expositor.
We learn from Gen. Dibrell that
the first railroad survey made in
Tennessee was from Nashville to
Knoxville through this section, run
ming some six or eight miles south of
Sparta, and going up the mountain
at Lost Creek at a grade of 80 feet to
the mile. The survey tapped the
Dog Cave coal mines, one of the finest
coal veins in the State, and also the
Browns old mines in Cumberland
county, the vein of which is IA feet
thick. In the building of this grand
trunk road from Bristol to Nashville
and Memphis, the feasibility and
Importance of which only makes ii
question of time, it is almost GER
tain that this old route will be adopt.
ed. The vast quantities of coal, iron
ore, timber, fine stone, &C., along
the route would make it a profitable
road.

Unlike Any Other.

1t is said by those who know, that
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is I'M
like any other in the world and that
it is the most wonderful family rene
dy ever discovered. 1t is both for
external and internal use, and is
equally valuable in either case. 1t is
safe to say that no remedy now
known has cured so many cases of
Diphtheria, Group, Asthma, Bron-
chitis, Influenza, Sore Lungs, Bleed
ing at the Lungs, Splitting of Blood,
Chronic Hoarseness, Hacking Cough,
Whooping Cough, Diarrhea, Chrome
Diseases of the Spine, Sciatica and
Neuralgia, as has Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment.
This Anodyne Imminent is richly
worth ten dollars bottle in certain
cases.
For instance, in cases of diptheria,
Group and asthma, when the suffer
er is almost dead for want of breath,
and something is required to act ia
stantly. To an old man suffering
with severe kidney disease, ten dol
lars is no more than a cent for a bottle
of this anodyne. In all such cases it
will give immediate relief-and by
using it occasionally, it will afford
comparative comfort the remainder
of life. A person suffering intense
agony, no matter in what part of the
body, nor what the cause, can get
some relief Immediately by taking
into the stomach a double dose OF
this Anodyne. s-

"saved the Life of My Wife.
Rocknort. Tex


Rockport, Tex.
Gents while on the subject of
medicines, permit me to say that /
can conscientiously vouch for the
belief that about three weeks since
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment saved
the life of my wife while suffering
from complication of diseases in
which tonsilitis, bronchitis and a
species of influenza (Which has been
epidemic here for several weeks)
were conspicuous. In nearly every
case where the Liniment was used
internally and externally, a speedy
cure has followed. -
Ny children are subject to Group.
Since ascertaining the virtue of the
Liniment, all that is necessary is to
give them a dose, battle their chests
and throat with liniment, and tuck
them in bed, and the Group disappears
as if by magic. f. A. PERRENoT.
